Why no Manix 2 in 204P?

[Doc Dan]

Why has there not been a Manix 2 in 204P (or M390)?

I think this would be an outstanding combination. Though I prefer the back lock, I'd be in for any version in this steel.

[koenigsegg]

I would get this. I think it would also be very nice if they would release a PM2 in M390, 204P or 20CV that's not just a exclusive

Manix 2 and PM2 in CPM20CV please

[Doc Dan]

This is a great steel and the Manix platform just seems to be made for it.

[Doc Dan]

This idea keeps popping up all the time. Sometimes it is M390, or 20CV. CTS-204P is about the same, and Spyderco has a good relationship with the maker, I believe.

[knivesandbooks]

I think that would be a great steel for the manix 2 backlock's first sprint

[DrawBackwards]

I'd love to see any of the 204p/20cv/m390 family in a Manix 2.

[Doc Dan]

Perhaps all of those folks requesting M390 will get behind this.

My first reaction was that I have the same question about Native, than I asked myself a question:"What 204P/M390 can deliver me that S110V can not?"
I used to have ZT in this steel and didn't find it better than S90V or S110V in any area.
What are your thoughts?

I have found 204P easier to sharpen than S110V. This is using my 302 Benchstones as well as my 701 profiles. I only have one Para 2 that I have kept after all these years, the green / 204P version. I would love a Manix 2 in this color/steel combination. Even a green FRCP lightweight would be awesome.

Everything in 204P, please. It's such a well balanced steel, I don't know why we don't see more of it.

[MacLaren]

I hear ya guys. 204p is my favorite.

I reprofiled my ZT0562 CF (ZT variant of slicer :rolleyes: ) after I bought it. It took me couple hours on 100 grit WE stones Possibly edge was too thick to begin with.

A backlock Manix in 204P/M390 would be a dream... :eek:

Isn't 204p tougher?

[knivesandbooks]

Is 204p that good? All my m390 has been chippy and hasn't performed all that better than s30v based on what I've noticed.

[Donut]

Here is my take on M390.

I think M390 is a pretty well balanced steel. It holds a nice edge for quite a while, not as long as S90V or S110V. It sharpens about as easy as S30V.

I read the comment. What is this based on?

[Doc Dan]

I am not certain, as he does not say. However, he is pretty knowledgeable...more so than I am.
